Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Agriculture

His scientific interests lie mostly in Botany, Phytotoxicity, Environmental chemistry, Shoot and Cadmium. In general Botany, his work in Cell wall is often linked to Rhizodermis linking many areas of study. His Phytotoxicity research includes elements of Metal and Nuclear chemistry.

Peter M. Kopittke has included themes like Soil water, Silver nanoparticle and Dissolution in his Environmental chemistry study. His Shoot course of study focuses on Vigna and Chlorosis and Plant physiology. The concepts of his Cadmium study are interwoven with issues in Zinc and Soil pH.

His most cited work include:

  • Evaluation of extractants for estimation of the phytoavailable trace metals in soils. (316 citations)
  • Nanotechnology: A New Opportunity in Plant Sciences (288 citations)
  • Fate of ZnO nanoparticles in soils and cowpea (Vigna unguiculata). (155 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His primary scientific interests are in Environmental chemistry, Soil water, Agronomy, Botany and Phytotoxicity. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Zinc, Metal, Silver nanoparticle, Nutrient and Cadmium. His work focuses on many connections between Soil water and other disciplines, such as Irrigation, that overlap with his field of interest in Environmental engineering and Leucaena.

His Agronomy research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Phosphorus and Salinity. His Botany study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Speciation and Elongation. His Vigna research incorporates themes from Manganese, Shoot and Nuclear chemistry.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Environmental chemistry (25.51%)
  • Soil water (24.15%)
  • Agronomy (17.69%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Environmental chemistry (25.51%)
  • Soil water (24.15%)
  • Agronomy (17.69%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Peter M. Kopittke mostly deals with Environmental chemistry, Soil water, Agronomy, Zinc and Phosphorus. His work on Speciation as part of general Environmental chemistry research is frequently linked to Alpha diversity and Synchrotron, bridging the gap between disciplines. His Soil water study incorporates themes from Salinity and Animal science.

His studies deal with areas such as Cropping, Soil type and Soil classification as well as Agronomy. His Zinc research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Sunflower, Helianthus annuus and Nutrient. His work carried out in the field of Sunflower brings together such families of science as Botany, Nuclear chemistry, Manganese, Phosphate and Absorption spectroscopy.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Cadmium contamination in agricultural soils of China and the impact on food safety. (91 citations)
  • Soil and the intensification of agriculture for global food security. (71 citations)
  • Iron-Manganese (Oxyhydro)oxides, Rather than Oxidation of Sulfides, Determine Mobilization of Cd during Soil Drainage in Paddy Soil Systems. (56 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Agriculture

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Environmental chemistry, Soil water, Vertisol, Soil pH and Zinc. His study of Speciation is a part of Environmental chemistry. In general Soil water study, his work on Soil organic matter often relates to the realm of Environmental risk, thereby connecting several areas of interest.

His work deals with themes such as Cadmium, Agriculture, Manganese, Water content and Paddy field, which intersect with Soil pH. Peter M. Kopittke combines subjects such as Nutrient, Trichome and Horticulture with his study of Zinc. His research on Trichome also deals with topics like

  • Helianthus annuus and related Radiochemistry,
  • Sunflower which is related to area like Botany.
